33 years. Countless laughs. One hell of a writing staff. Tonight, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert signs off. The writers who made it an institution — our members — go out the way they came in: with integrity, solidarity, and the best jokes in the room.

It remains very funny that James Bond Jr. is a thing that existed, and also that it was the first exposure I had to James Bond as a property. Not that I was a huge fan, but I distinctly remember watching it.

Now let's get a nice, extras-loaded deluxe edition hardcover of the first series, @dc.com

New statement from San Diego Comic Con on the Eisner-nominated anthology using AI:

Are you afraid? #Lanterns premieres August 16 on @hbomax.bsky.social.

The "Matrix Returns" text was added without my knowledge. This is NOT Matrix, it's Kara with a new costume, and Matrix does not appear in this issue. Yes the image is an homage to Grummett's famous Matrix drawing and it was intentional foreshadowing, but I'm sorry for the misleading way it was done.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH 🤪

I don’t have the words to express how monstrous this is, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg

The Jack Kirby Way: The Jack Kirby Way street naming ceremony was a joyful day as comics as comics folk came together to celebrate the King.

Had to represent the Yancy Gang! So great seeing ya! 😁

Ha!!!!! Now I can’t unsee it! 😂🤣😂🤣😂

So this happened…and it was pretty darn awesome! So thrilled to be on hand for the unveiling of Jack Kirby Way today with @crystalskillman.bsky.social and the director of this August’s production of our KING KIRBY, Bill Coulter!

Important Update: I read every one of these this weekend and it was wonderful. Capped it off with SUPERGIRL’S FAMILY VACATION, which was also great. DC’s OGN line just out there killing it.

Hail to the King! #JackKirby

Jack Kirby Way naming day! Steranko, Starlin, Evanier and the Kirby family are here to mark this momentous day. Also many folks from Marvel who helped make it possible.

Happy pub day to @brandontsnider.bsky.social and Sarah Leuver! SUPERGIRL’S FAMILY VACATION is out today - and it's a total DELIGHT! www.comicsbeat.com/interview-br...

The Static Shock episode "Jimmy" debuted on this day (May 4) in 2002. Written by Dwayne McDuffie and Alan Burnett, this winner of the 2003 Humanitas Prize in Children's Animation delivers a gripping tale as Static tackles bullying and gun violence in school. #StaticShock #Static

Not every Superman protects tomorrow. My Adventures with Superman S3 - Coming June 13th | Next Day HBO Max

Just saw someone say they don’t care for cyborg Superman and I’m shocked How do you NOT CARE about CYBORG SUPERMAN? Those are the two coolest words you can place back to back! That’s like saying you don’t like talking gorillas, just say you hate FUN 😤

The Man of Steel has some competition in #MyAdventuresWithSuperman Season 3 this summer #Superman

💥NEW SERIES ALERT!!💥 This July set sail for the Night Isles with the VAMPYRATES! A new action/horror title created by my WEAPON X collaborator @lukapiz.bsky.social & I with @adamguzowski.bsky.social on colors and @longtalljodie.com on letters! The exclusive preview is on @comicsbeat.bsky.social:

Big week for @brandontsnider.bsky.social !

Stan Sakai and Dan Jurgens will be among the contributors to IDW's GODZILLA VS. AMERICA: SAN DIEGO, releasing the week of the real San Diego Comic-Con this July.

I interviewed Gerry back in 2018 for the Jason Todd oral history. Me, a nobody, cold-messaging him and actually getting a response was such a thrill. Creating Jason was by no means the most important thing he did in comics but he was so happy to talk about it.

Damn. Rest in peace to one of the absolute greats.
